So, because I am nuttier than a fruitcake and a complete lunatic, I've taken it upon myself to gather one million power to empower my own Ascension. The question though, will be "how do I gather power for my nexus"?

As a Celestine, I can

Collect Essence
Empower Angels
Convert Demons
Hunt Nexuscreatures
Gather Supplicants
Gather Bards
Gather Scholars.

What else can I do to spice up the long and incredibly tedious path I have taken upon myself?

I'd suggest Aether Trips if you can find a good crew. Lots of power out in Aetherspace

Can a place really have more than one VA? I thought it was just one?

Refugee's Easy Steps To Gathering One Million Power

- Set up an IV, fill it with vitamin-enhanced Ringer's solution, and have it by your bed, hooked into one of your peripheral veins. Make sure the IV is close enough to be restocked without stopping your power gathering.

- Buy a mattress and pillows that conform to the shape of your body, that way you won't develop pressure sores.

- Invest in a bedpan, or a set of adult diapers; getting up for restroom breaks will take away time from gathering power.

- Jobs, education, friends, or sex are also obviously out of the question. An exception to the sex clause is that every 250,000 power you gather, you can hire a prostitute, but it can't be a one that's too pretty, you want to get it over with as quickly as possible while still giving you something to look forwards to. Keep 200 or so dollars with you for this purpose.

- Buy copious amounts of canned food and beef jerky, and keep them within easy reach of your bed. Eat once per day and only once per day, you don't want to run through you diapers too quickly.

- It's helpful to have a spouse who promised to love you in sickness and in health at this point, though the chances of losing your marriage during the course of this endeavor are pretty good.

- Invest a few thousand dollars into your character, get as strong as you can, bash to demigod in Astral while you drain the nodes.

- Move beyond a need for sleep. Energy drinks would be recommended, but they tend to be diuretics, so instead learn to sleep with your eyes open while you gather power.

- Make certain you have a stable internet connection, have two contingency connections on hand just in case the first one goes down.

- Have two contingency generators in case of a power out.

Follow the path young grasshopper, and you too shall be a Vernal Ascendant.

Kill Demon lords(3000 power each? not sure), steal fae(3-12 power per, against Celest's laws, may just be 3 for Celest), raise soulforge(Lots of power, against Celest's laws), drain lost city nodes(causes huge fights) or hunt for ethereal essence (1-5 power each)

You left out coning on Astral. 10 power per tick.

Speaking as someone who has a fair bit of experience with amassing huge amounts of power at once, it really would be a lot more simple to just get involved with your city, invest heavily in roleplay, assume some leadership position, garner loyalty and support from as many of the citizenry as you can, and... really, just act in a way that would make people think you deserve it. I can't think of any power aide or minister who would be too thrilled over the idea of counting up all that power and keeping records with you, nevermind if the ministry changes hands, they lose the records somewhere along the line, and then you only have your own personal records to go by (and how will you prove they aren't doctored?).

Though if this thread is meant to be a joke, don't mind me. whoosh.gif

I'm already doing that. However, I won't be even considered for Ascension before I play the game for another year at least. So I am doing what I can to strengthen the case of my Ascension. Besides, didn't you see that I disclaimed by being nuttier than a fruitcake? freaked.gif

STARCALL LINK NODE does huge wonders. If you get that, you can easily claim 1k+ power a RL day, but you have to be able to fight off the nasty creatues it brings!

Until then, Aetherspace, Water, and Earth are probably your best bets. Empowering angels is good but takes tooons of time and yo can probably kill suckers/stuff faster anyways. IF you find some celestines willing to funnel the power to the nexus, gaudiguch and claim you 3k or so power as well. (once per IG year though)
